The wave equation with variable tension is a classic partial differential equation that can be used to describe the horizontal displacements of a vertical hanging chain with one end fixed and the other end free to move. Using a web camera and Tracker software to record displacement data from a vibrating hanging chain, we verify a modified version of the wave equation with variable tension that accounts for damping.
